Berglund, John, M.F. medical doctor – Portland – born in Skärstad,
Jönköping County on July 10, 1864. Received his kindergarten teaching diploma at
the age of 14 in Grenna and subsequently earned his living for several years as
a kindergarten teacher in the surrounding villages. At the age of 21 he received
a higher teaching degree at the Vexjö seminary, allowing him to earn his living
as school teacher in Slätthög, Småland, and in Verum, Skåne.

After a couple of years, at the age of 25, he adopted the trade of bookbinder
and book printer in Hästveda. For about a year he also earned part of his living
as a traveling salesman representing his own print shop. In the autumn of 1892
he traveled to America. During his first year he earned his living as a
carpenter in Rockford, Illinois, after which he and his two brothers and some
other acquaintances established the Haga-colony in Centreville, Mississippi,
which was well-known at the time.

For many years he earned his living as a farmer and a butcher, but then
returned to more northern regions in 1899. In Geneva, Illinois, he worked as a
home builder and photographer, and for one winter he served as land surveyor for
the Illinois Central Railroad in Yazoo Valley, Mississippi. The discomfort he
experienced during his short visit to the south took away any desire for a
future as a land surveyor. Nevertheless, he soon went south again, this time to
Biloxi, Mississippi, were he built himself a very beautiful home, which he still
owns. During his stay in Biloxi he was able to satisfy his lasting interest in
medical studies, and under the guidance of prof. Howard studied the
chiropractor’s art. At a later date he received his diploma from the American
College of Therapy in Chicago, Illinois. His interests also included studies in
osteopathy, hydro-therapy, dietetics, salvation, suggestive therapeutics,
bioplasma and biochemistry etc. He treats his patients following eccentric
methods and has established a method of his own called human vibration.

Mr. Berglund established himself in Portland, Oregon, as a chiropractic
practitioner using drug free treatment methods. His office and residency is
located at no. 773 Mississippi Ave. He has almost completed the manuscript for
his medical book in which he describes new and modern healing methods, and he
has further written much in the fields of poetry and prose. He is a member of
the Methodist Church and has since 1894 been married to Selma af Lövenhjelm from
Karlstad, and they have one son and two daughters together.
